Description dkindred=redhat 1998-12-15 07:10:59 UTC
Version 3.17 of 'at' doesn't handle 12:00am-12:59am time
specifications correctly:

   % at -f /tmp/blah 12:30am; atq; atrm 6;
   warning: commands will be executed using /bin/sh
   job 6 at 1998-12-15 12:30
   6       1998-12-15 12:30 a

(Notice that the job is scheduled for 12:30pm.)
The patch below fixes this.
